Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made. It’s a multi-billion dollar business, responsible for around a hundred thousand deaths every year and it’s a major source of income for terrorists. RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade.
When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here.
The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell their narcotic wares in broad daylight. Even so, they still manage to evade arrest. Poppy fields are destroyed and drugs seized but it’s only ever the middle men who are punished, not the drug lords. There’s been a NATO military presence in the country for 14 years now but still, drugs production continues to grow.
Local people suffer from the drug business too, around 18% of the capital’s population are drug addicts. The places where drugs are sold and used are well known but the police are powerless to act. Mafia wars drive civilians from their land in the southern regions, forcing them into refugee camps in their own country. Opium growers get rich by plunging fellow citizens into the depths of misery.
RT Doc’s investigative team visited Afghanistan to document the Police’s losing battle against opium producers and its effect on the rest of the country. They talk to police officers, drug users and opium growers in search of a fuller picture and to ask why this massive and life-destroying industry continues to flourish.

Afghanistan: TalibanAt The Gates - 101 EastFifteen years after suffering defeat at the hands of America, the Taliban are retaking territory in Afghanistan at an alarming pace.
Wide swathes of the country are now under their control. But the prize for the armed group is the city of Lashkar Gah, seen as the gateway to the rest of the country. Standing in their way, is a ragtag group of Afghan soldiers and police, ill-trained, and ill-equipped.
But a newly installed governor is rallying the forces. Can the city hold the Taliban at bay?
101 East goes to the frontlines to meet the last defenders of Afghanistan.

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee (Chinese:李小龍; born Lee Jun-fan, Chinese:李振藩; November 27, 1940– July 20, 1973) was a Hong KongAmericanmartial artist, action film actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, filmmaker, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Lee was the son of Cantonese opera star Lee Hoi-Chuen. He is widely considered by commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time, and a pop culture icon of the 20th century. He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.

Lee was born in Chinatown, San Francisco on November 27, 1940 to parents from Hong Kong and was raised in Kowloon with his family until his late teens. He was introduced to the film industry by his father and appeared in several films as a child actor. Lee moved to the United States at the age of 18 to receive his higher education, at the University of Washington, at Seattle and it was during this time that he began teaching martial arts. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in the United States, Hong Kong and the rest of the world.

The Joker Is Wild (album)

The Joker is Wild was the second album released by Alex Harvey after the demise of The Soul Band. The album was released in 1972. Some time after 1972 the album The Joker Is Wild was reissued and repackaged, the album song listings stayed the same, but the album was credited as being made by "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" even though this band did not exist at the time, and the title was changed to This Is.

Background

The album was recorded at Regent Sound Studio, London in early 1972. These songs are unfinished demos only, recorded for a Spanish singer named Tony Caldeira (who wrote "The Joker Is Wild" and "Silhouette and Shadow"). Alex was teaching Tony vocal delivery and phrasing. Alex received a cheque for the session which subsequently bounced. The producer, Paul Murphy, sold the tapes to Metronome Records in Germany and they issued the LP as The Joker Is Wild in 1972. This Is SAHB is a low budget reissue of "Joker" intended to cash in on SAHB's success (even though Zal, Chris, Ted and Hugh weren't involved with the recordings). The photo of SAHB on the sleeve features keyboard player John Martin on the far left.

Afghanistan's Slippery Slopes - 101 East

It's an unlikely ski resort in the middle of wartorn Afghanistan.
There's no ski lift, no apres ski bars - in fact there are few skis - but it is a symbol of the hope and resilience of the Hazara people.
The Taliban persecuted the Hazara when they were in control of Bamiyan, infamously destroying the magnificent giant Buddhas that dated back to the 6th century.
Today, a resurgent Taliban is seizing huge swaths of the country.
But instead of fleeing, the Hazara are aiming high - from encouraging international tourism to rebuilding the sacred Buddhas of Bamiyan.
So will this enterprise in the remote alps of Afghanistan - and the Hazara people - survive a resurgent Taliban?

Repair shops in northern Afghanistan fixing weapons.

2. Fruit stall
3. Old man cutting young boy's hair
4. General views of repair shop
5. Various of guns being mended
6. SOUNDBITE: (Farsi) Engineer Kabal, supervisor:

7. Various of weapons being mended
8. Man with shoulder rocket launcher
9. Children with guns
STORYLINE:
Although the Taliban control much of Afghanistan some of the country is still in the hands of forces who oppose them.
These forces, loosely grouped together under the banner of the Northern Alliance, have been fighting a civil war against the Taliban.
However, in this poor country there is little money for new guns.
Many of the weapons used by the Northern Alliance are left over from the days of Soviet occupation.
Jabul Faraje is in Northern Afghanistan, 70km north of Kabul.
Here a shop does a roaring trade in repairing and altering weapons.
The shop deals with everything from small arms to heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.
The Northern Alliance has said it is ready to launch a fresh assault on the Taliban, in conjunction with Western forces.
It could be that these weapons will soon be employed fighting the Taliban.

Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made. It’s a multi-billion dollar business, responsible for around a hundred thousand deaths every year and it’s a major source of income for terrorists. RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade.
When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here.
The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell their narcotic wares in broad daylight. Even so, they still manage to evade arrest. Poppy fields are destroyed and drugs seized but it’s only ever the middle men who are punished, not the drug lords. There’s been a NATO military presence in the country for 14 years now but still, drugs production continues to grow.
Local people suffer from the drug business too, around 18% of the capital’s population are drug addicts. The places where drugs are sold and used are well known but the police are powerless to act. Mafia wars drive civilians from their land in the southern regions, forcing them into refugee camps in their own country. Opium growers get rich by plunging fellow citizens into the depths of misery.
RT Doc’s investigative team visited Afghanistan to document the Police’s losing battle against opium producers and its effect on the rest of the country. They talk to police officers, drug users and opium growers in search of a fuller picture and to ask why this massive and life-destroying industry continues to flourish.

Afghanistan during the PDPA (People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan)

Afghanistan: TalibanAt The Gates - 101 EastFifteen years after suffering defeat at the hands of America, the Taliban are retaking territory in Afghanistan at an alarming pace.
Wide swathes of the country are now under their control. But the prize for the armed group is the city of Lashkar Gah, seen as the gateway to the rest of the country. Standing in their way, is a ragtag group of Afghan soldiers and police, ill-trained, and ill-equipped.
But a newly installed governor is rallying the forces. Can the city hold the Taliban at bay?
101 East goes to the frontlines to meet the last defenders of Afghanistan.

It's an unlikely ski resort in the middle of wartorn Afghanistan.
There's no ski lift, no apres ski bars - in fact there are few skis - but it is a symbol of the hope and resilience of the Hazara people.
The Taliban persecuted the Hazara when they were in control of Bamiyan, infamously destroying the magnificent giant Buddhas that dated back to the 6th century.
Today, a resurgent Taliban is seizing huge swaths of the country.
But instead of fleeing, the Hazara are aiming high - from encouraging international tourism to rebuilding the sacred Buddhas of Bamiyan.
So will this enterprise in the remote alps of Afghanistan - and the Hazara people - survive a resurgent Taliban?

SHOTLIST
1. Wide shot of market
2. Fruit stall
3. Old man cutting young boy's hair
4. General views of repair shop
5. Various of guns being mended
6. SOUNDBITE: (Farsi) Engineer Kabal, supervisor:
"This is a machine gun (ZU1) from an (ex-Soviet) armed personnel carrier. We removed it and have adapted it for use from ground positions"
7. Various of weapons being mended
8. Man with shoulder rocket launcher
9. Children with guns
STORYLINE:
Although the Taliban control much of Afghanistan some of the country is still in the hands of forces who oppose them.
These forces, loosely grouped together under the banner of the Northern Alliance, have been fighting a civil war against the Taliban.
However, in this poor country there is little money for new guns.
Many of the weapons used by the Northern Alliance are left over from the days of Soviet occupation.
Jabul Faraje is in Northern Afghanistan, 70km north of Kabul.
Here a shop does a roaring trade in repairing and altering weapons.
The shop deals with everything from small arms to heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.
The Northern Alliance has said it is ready to launch a fresh assault on the Taliban, in conjunction with Western forces.
It could be that these weapons will soon be employed fighting the Taliban.

VLOGISTAN | Traveling to Kabul, Afghanistan

Here's a super short snippet of my mom and I leaving Dubai, and finally reaching Kabul, Afghanistan.
We were immediately welcomed with open arms by our family members who live there, and as much as I wanted to show that, I couldn't. I did however capture my mom buying salt and pepper shakers...because you know, those don't exist elsewhere.
Day 1 was kinda eh, but that's because I hate shopping. I promise things get better...let's just say, up next is wedding szn.
Be sure to like, comment, and thubthrcibe. Stay tuned for upcoming videos!

I was so excited for the opportunity to travel to Afghanistan. I traveled here alone in February of 2016 as a solo female American traveler. Though my primary objective was go skiing on their vast mountains (they apparently have some great slopes), I settled on exploring Kabul city, which immersed me in their culture and way of life. I'd go back to Afghanistan in a heartbeat. The people here are kind, just living their lives and the majority of them do like Americans. So, let's be kind to one another.

Day 1 was kinda eh, but that's because I hate shopping. I promise things get better...let's just say, up next is wedding szn.
Be sure to like, comment, and thubthrcibe. Stay tuned for upcoming videos!

"The UnseenAfghanistan" is the first cinematic aerial film uncovering the beautiful never seen before landscape of Afghanistan from above.
Earlier this year I visited Afghanistan after a long 20 years. I was blown away by the natural beauty of my homeland right before the touch down into Kabul airport.
This was a passion project and I believe and hope that it will introduce a different face of #Afghanistan across the world which is rarely known or shown in present times.

Afghan Overdose. Inside opium trade

Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made. It’s a multi-billion dollar business, responsible for around a hundred thousand deaths every year and it’s a major source of income for terrorists. RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade.
When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here.
The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell th...

Wide swathes of the country are now under their control. But the prize for the armed group is the city of Lashkar Gah, seen as the gateway to the rest of the country. Standing in their way, is a ragtag group of Afghan soldiers and police, ill-trained, and ill-equipped.
But a newly installed governor is rallying the forces. Can the city hold the Taliban at bay?

🇦🇫 Afghanistan | Crystal Dreams | 101 East

Afghanistan: CrystalDreams
Over the past four decades, Afghanistan has been in an almost constant state of warfare or internal conflict - enduring Soviet occupation, the rule of the Taliban and a Western-backed authority.
As leaderships and ideologies have changed, loyalties also have fragmented.
But in the remote Jegdaleki region in the Hindu Kush mountains, life for one group of people has continued largely undisturbed.
For generations these tough, resilient villagers have risked life and limb, to mine deep into the barren earth in pursuit of prized red rubies.
These jewels are then illicitly traded across the border to Peshawar, Pakistan, to be cut and polished. From there, they are sold all over the world, adorning royalty and the wealthy.
But as foreign troops withdraw and the ...

Afghanistan's Child Drug Addicts***Documentary 2017.

Afghanistan is a country devastated by the horrors of war, crime, violence and poverty. It is also a country blighted with the cultivation and supply of opium. Although it is estimated that 95% of all heroin on the streets of the UK & Europe comes from Afghanistan, few talk of the drugs that stay within the country and the devastating effects it is having on its children - the youth & future of Afghanistan. After the war on Terror and the fall of the Taliban, what future is there for the next generation? Jabar and Zahir are two 15 year old friends, whose own sisters, mothers and fathers are also addicted to heroin and opium. "Addicted in Afghanistan" is an intimate and uncompromising portrayal, filmed over a year, of the day to day struggles of a new generation of children addicted to hero...

Afghanistan The Price Of Revenge EP1 2013)Al Jazeera aNaRCHo

Among the hundreds of thousands of refugees entering Europe a significant number is made up of young men from Afghanistan. Last year, more than 100,000 Afghans fled to Europe and the exodus continues.
But why are so many Afghans leaving their home country?
In Kabul's KoteSangi neighbourhood, painters, carpenters, plasterers, and other manual workers sit outside waiting for someone to come by and hire them, even if only for a few hours.
This scene is replicated throughout the Afghan capital as thousands of casual workers hope to earn a dollar or more a day, the desperation etched on many faces. But their chances aren't good. These men don't have the family or the political connections often needed to get a job. And Afghanistan's unemployment rate is estimated to be at 40 percent or hig...

Afghanistan's Slippery Slopes - 101 East

It's an unlikely ski resort in the middle of wartorn Afghanistan.
There's no ski lift, no apres ski bars - in fact there are few skis - but it is a symbol of the hope and resilience of the Hazara people.
The Taliban persecuted the Hazara when they were in control of Bamiyan, infamously destroying the magnificent giant Buddhas that dated back to the 6th century.
Today, a resurgent Taliban is seizing huge swaths of the country.
But instead of fleeing, the Hazara are aiming high - from encouraging international tourism to rebuilding the sacred Buddhas of Bamiyan.
So will this enterprise in the remote alps of Afghanistan - and the Hazara people - survive a resurgent Taliban?

Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made.

RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade.
When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here.
The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell their narcotic wares in broad daylight. Even so, they still manage to evade arrest. Poppy fields are destroyed and drugs seized but it’s only ever the middle men who are punished, not the drug lords. There’s been a NATO military presence in the country for 14 years now but still, drugs production continues to grow.
Local people suffer from the drug business too, around 18% of the capital’s population are drug addicts. The places where drugs are sold and used are well known but the police are powerless to act. Mafia wars drive civilians from their land in the southern regions, forcing them into refugee camps in their own country. Opium growers get rich by plunging fellow citizens into the depths of misery.
RT Doc’s investigative team visited Afghanistan to document the Police’s losing battle against opium producers and its effect on the rest of the country. They talk to police officers, drug users and opium growers in search of a fuller picture and to ask why this massive and life-destroying industry continues to flourish.

Its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power. Key allies, including the United Kingdom, supported the U.S. from the start to the end of the phase. This phase of the war is the longest war in United States history.

The war in Afghanistan or the American war in Afghanistan was the period in which the United States invaded Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks. Supported initially by close allies, they were later joined by NATO beginning in 2003. It followed the Afghan Civil War's 1996–2001 phase. Its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power. Key allies, including the United Kingdom, supported the U.S. from the start to the end of the phase. This phase of the war is the longest war in United States history.

Afghanistan: CrystalDreams
Over the past four decades, Afghanistan has been in an almost constant state of warfare or internal conflict - enduring Soviet occupation, the rule of the Taliban and a Western-backed authority.
As leaderships and ideologies have changed, loyalties also have fragmented.
But in the remote Jegdaleki region in the Hindu Kush mountains, life for one group of people has continued largely undisturbed.
For generations these tough, resilient villagers have risked life and limb, to mine deep into the barren earth in pursuit of prized red rubies.
These jewels are then illicitly traded across the border to Peshawar, Pakistan, to be cut and polished. From there, they are sold all over the world, adorning royalty and the wealthy.
But as foreign troops withdraw and the Taliban’s presence spreads, Jegdalek’s ruby miners are drawing attention.
Generations of men have lived and died for the wealth buried in the jagged mountains of Sappar, Afghanistan, chasing crystal dreams with dynamite and pick axes.
With the country almost entirely dependent on foreign aid, the precious rubies have become a potential windfall for the government but most of the gems are smuggled out to Pakistan to be processed and sold abroad.
Forces within the country, lured by the temptation of wealth, have begun to compete for control of the mines.
Attempts have been made by the central government to harness the mining of the rubies and other interested parties are not far behind them.
101 East examines the lives of Afghanistan’s ruby miners and the lure of the red crystals as the country approaches an uncertain and turbulent future.

Afghanistan's Child Drug Addicts***Documentary 2017.

Afghanistan is a country devastated by the horrors of war, crime, violence and poverty. It is also a country blighted with the cultivation and supply of opium. Although it is estimated that 95% of all heroin on the streets of the UK & Europe comes from Afghanistan, few talk of the drugs that stay within the country and the devastating effects it is having on its children - the youth & future of Afghanistan. After the war on Terror and the fall of the Taliban, what future is there for the next generation? Jabar and Zahir are two 15 year old friends, whose own sisters, mothers and fathers are also addicted to heroin and opium. "Addicted in Afghanistan" is an intimate and uncompromising portrayal, filmed over a year, of the day to day struggles of a new generation of children addicted to heroin, trying to find their way in the new Afghanistan. Written by Sharron Ward

Among the hundreds of thousands of refugees entering Europe a significant number is made up of young men from Afghanistan. Last year, more than 100,000 Afghans fled to Europe and the exodus continues.
But why are so many Afghans leaving their home country?
In Kabul's KoteSangi neighbourhood, painters, carpenters, plasterers, and other manual workers sit outside waiting for someone to come by and hire them, even if only for a few hours.
This scene is replicated throughout the Afghan capital as thousands of casual workers hope to earn a dollar or more a day, the desperation etched on many faces. But their chances aren't good. These men don't have the family or the political connections often needed to get a job. And Afghanistan's unemployment rate is estimated to be at 40 percent or higher.
Afghanistan's economy still depends heavily on international aid and 61 percent of the country's operating budget is funded by foreign donors.
The withdrawal of more than 100,000 NATO troops, and a scaling down of aid has shrunk the economy drastically. Building bases for the troops, staffing them, moving food and water to them, injected billions of dollars into the economy and employed tens of thousands of Afghans for years.
In response to the economic downturn, Afghan PresidentAshraf Ghani has launched the NationalEmploymentProgramme in November 2015 to give thousands of Afghans job opportunities.
But will he succeed? How do do young Afghans feel about their country's economic future?
On this week's Talk to Al Jazeera in the Field, we examine the job market in Afghanistan. How does it really work? And what jobs, if any, offer some kind of future for the young people who decide to stay in Afghanistan?
We talk to business leaders who are looking for workers; the head of one of Afghanistan's biggest recruitment companies; and job seeker Abdel Fatah, who studied sociology at Kabul University and wants to stay and work in his country.

It's an unlikely ski resort in the middle of wartorn Afghanistan.
There's no ski lift, no apres ski bars - in fact there are few skis - but it is a symbol of the hope and resilience of the Hazara people.
The Taliban persecuted the Hazara when they were in control of Bamiyan, infamously destroying the magnificent giant Buddhas that dated back to the 6th century.
Today, a resurgent Taliban is seizing huge swaths of the country.
But instead of fleeing, the Hazara are aiming high - from encouraging international tourism to rebuilding the sacred Buddhas of Bamiyan.
So will this enterprise in the remote alps of Afghanistan - and the Hazara people - survive a resurgent Taliban?

Robert Young Pelton's, The World's Most Dangerous Places:Lion of the Panjshir

Pelton enters Afghanistan before 9/11. His goal to find fabled warlord Ahmed Shah Massoud takes him through a number of dead ends as the "Lion of Panjshir" is under pressure from the feared Taliban. After many failed attempts Pelton becomes one of the last outsiders to see him alive.

Afghan Overdose. Inside opium trade

Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made. It’s a multi-billion dollar business, responsible for around a hundred thousand deaths every year and it’s a major source of income for terrorists. RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade.
When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here.
The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell their narcotic wares in broad daylight. Even so, they still manage to evade arrest. Poppy fields are destroyed and drugs seized but it’s only ever the middle men who are punished, not the drug lords. There’s been a NATO military presence in the country for 14 years now but still, drugs production continues to grow.
Local people suffer from the drug business too, around 18% of the capital’s population are drug addicts. The places where drugs are sold and used are well known but the police are powerless to act. Mafia wars drive civilians from their land in the southern regions, forcing them into refugee camps in their own country. Opium growers get rich by plunging fellow citizens into the depths of misery.
RT Doc’s investigative team visited Afghanistan to document the Police’s losing battle against opium producers and its effect on the rest of the country. They talk to police officers, drug users and opium growers in search of a fuller picture and to ask why this massive and life-destroying industry continues to flourish.

Afghanistan: TalibanAt The Gates - 101 EastFifteen years after suffering defeat at the hands of America, the Taliban are retaking territory in Afghanistan at an alarming pace.
Wide swathes of the country are now under their control. But the prize for the armed group is the city of Lashkar Gah, seen as the gateway to the rest of the country. Standing in their way, is a ragtag group of Afghan soldiers and police, ill-trained, and ill-equipped.
But a newly installed governor is rallying the forces. Can the city hold the Taliban at bay?
101 East goes to the frontlines to meet the last defenders of Afghanistan.

Otherwise, refrain from comments about the music. Thank you. **
I was so excited for the opportunity to travel to Afghanistan. I traveled here alone in February of 2016 as a solo female American traveler. Though my primary objective was go skiing on their vast mountains (they apparently have some great slopes), I settled on exploring Kabul city, which immersed me in their culture and way of life. I'd go back to Afghanistan in a heartbeat. The people here are kind, just living their lives and the majority of them do like Americans. So, let's be kind to one another.

VLOGISTAN | Traveling to Kabul, Afghanistan

Here's a super short snippet of my mom and I leaving Dubai, and finally reaching Kabul, Afghanistan.
We were immediately welcomed with open arms by our family members who live there, and as much as I wanted to show that, I couldn't. I did however capture my mom buying salt and pepper shakers...because you know, those don't exist elsewhere.
Day 1 was kinda eh, but that's because I hate shopping. I promise things get better...let's just say, up next is wedding szn.
Be sure to like, comment, and thubthrcibe. Stay tuned for upcoming videos!

"The UnseenAfghanistan" is the first cinematic aerial film uncovering the beautiful never seen before landscape of Afghanistan from above.
Earlier this year I visited Afghanistan after a long 20 years. I was blown away by the natural beauty of my homeland right before the touch down into Kabul airport.
This was a passion project and I believe and hope that it will introduce a different face of #Afghanistan across the world which is rarely known or shown in present times.
For best viewing experience watch it on a Bigger screen in HD and turn the volume UP

Afghan Overdose. Inside opium trade

Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made. It’s a multi-billion dollar business, responsible for around a hundred thousand deaths every year and it’s a major source of income for terrorists. RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade.
When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here.
The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell their narcotic wares in broad daylight. Even so, they still manage to evade arrest. Poppy fields are destroyed and drugs seized but it’s only ever the middle men who are punished, not the drug lords. There’s been a NATO military presence in the country for 14 years now but still, drugs production continues to grow.
Local people suffer from the drug business too, around 18% of the capital’s population are drug addicts. The places where drugs are sold and used are well known but the police are powerless to act. Mafia wars drive civilians from their land in the southern regions, forcing them into refugee camps in their own country. Opium growers get rich by plunging fellow citizens into the depths of misery.
RT Doc’s investigative team visited Afghanistan to document the Police’s losing battle against opium producers and its effect on the rest of the country. They talk to police officers, drug users and opium growers in search of a fuller picture and to ask why this massive and life-destroying industry continues to flourish.

Afghanistan: TalibanAt The Gates - 101 EastFifteen years after suffering defeat at the hands of America, the Taliban are retaking territory in Afghanistan at an alarming pace.
Wide swathes of the country are now under their control. But the prize for the armed group is the city of Lashkar Gah, seen as the gateway to the rest of the country. Standing in their way, is a ragtag group of Afghan soldiers and police, ill-trained, and ill-equipped.
But a newly installed governor is rallying the forces. Can the city hold the Taliban at bay?
101 East goes to the frontlines to meet the last defenders of Afghanistan.
